Need Help Yet Again
Hey Guys,

I got the CEL Elim. From RRM. Seemed simple to so. I struggled for six hours. How the hell do I get the damn o2 sensor off the Cat? I even used liquid wrench. Any Tips?

When I changed my cat to RRM's highflow cat...I had to use a torch to get my O2 sensor off. Came off with ease after I heated it up a bit.

liquid wrench or any other penetrating oil w/lubricant. let it sit for a day. go back out tomorrow and spray more on..take it off in 20 minutes....or remove the whole cat out and put it on the bench....it's easier to work on it that way.

Try going out for a drive...And when you return home, remove it then... Make sure to wear work gloves though!
